In the present study we link an ensemble of regional climate model projections to a hydrological model with the aim to predict climate driven changes in flooding regimes in lowland riparian areas. Our specific aims were to (1) predict effects of climate change on flood frequencies and magnitudes...
Climate change and the flood risk Is climate change causing increased flooding ? Can we see the effects on floods ?Arnell, Nigel
Effects of climate change on flooding vulnerability focus on alterations of rainfall depth for various recurrence intervals. The flood-prone Yunlin coastal area, located in southwestern Taiwan, is chosen to illustrate the proposed methodology. The results reveal that reducing flooding vulnerability can be...
The hydrological cycle is expected to intensify with global warming, which likely increases the intensity of extreme precipitation events and the risk of flooding. The changes, however, often differ from the theorized expectation of increases in water‐holding capacity of the atmosphere in the warmer...
These results indicate that different management procedures will be needed to minimize the effects of climate change on the flooding of the two climatically different watersheds and the regions that they represent.AthanasiosUniversityLoukasUniversityMichael...
on Climate Change's special report,3extreme weather events are likely to become more frequent and catastrophic as a result of climate change. Flooding of coastal communities because of globalsea levelrise, pollution of underground and surfacewater supplies, or damage of built-infrastructure (e.g.,...
2015). Climate change greatly affects local or global natural resources, and if not properly managed, it could cause flooding, drought and conflict among resource users. Already, climate change is causingwater shortageby the shrinkage of lake Chad basin which the pastoralist depend on and this for...
In the wake of the downpour, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon announced on Wednesday the city will spend 1.5 trillion won ($1.15 billion) in the next decade to build six massive underground tunnels to store and release rainwater to prevent flooding. "The damage from this record...

climate change and population growth to future US flood risk (Fig.4a). The average annual exposure (AAE) of the current US population to flooding is 3.63 million (1.18%). Climate change is projected to increase the AAE of present populations to 4.31 million (1.41%), an increase of 18.6%...
